Abstract :
Since 1953, researchers have applied the Monte Carlo method to a wide range of areas. Specialized algorithms have also been developed to extend the method´s applicability and efficiency. The author describes some of the algorithms that have been developed to perform Monte Carlo simulations in science and engineering
